Again, Gene Parsons looks like a car-jacker, Skip battin a serial killer, Clarence White a nose w/hair, and Jimmy Seiter, the town mescaline dealer.

I'm teasing of course; this is a great performance with some great playing. Being the "Original 5" nut that I am, I had forgotten how much I liked "Truck Stop Girl"; Clarence's "Dusty & Creaky" vocal fits the song beautifully, like a glove. VERY COOL chord modulations in this song as well.

It's funny to hear that Ricky 370/12 pumped up w/overdrive for "Baby, what you want me to do"!!

I think the ONLY song I've EVER used distortion on a Rick-12 would be Zeppelin's "Living Loving Maid"; try it guys, it sounds RIGHT!!

And more from the "Roy Orbison Tribute Dress Rehearsal":

Man Christian, I have NO idea where you find these gems. Thanks. These are great.



And Si, after seeing those cheese eatin' grins on both Roger's & Croz's faces, I kinda wish they would get back together, too. But it ain't gonna happen, so we may as well get used to it.

Re: the "Forest National Stadium" video, and "Jimmy Seiter, the town mescaline dealer" - I met and spoke with Jimmi at intermission outside a Byrds gig in South Jersey 1971. He acted like the town mescaline dealer as well.
Actually, he was pretty cool. He spoke about the hickey's all over my neck - he was quite amused. I'm not sure why I remember it so well, but Clarence was standing a few feet away talking to some other people, and what struck me is that he was so short! I'm 5' 6" and he was a bit shorter than me - but dressed in his "Nudie Suit" type clothes, he looked great. He was great.
Oh yeah, the show was killer also

WONDERFUL story J.W.!

Thanks for sharing.

These are great! Tyanks so much. I am an original 5 guy too, but they did some cool songs throughout. "Wasn't Born to Follow" is one of my Top Ten.

Best,
